Navigating the open waters is an exhilarating experience, offering unparalleled freedom and adventure. However, one of the greatest hazards boaters face is the threat of lightning strikes, which can cause significant damage to vessels and pose serious risks to passengers and crew. To address this critical concern, CMCE Lightning Suppression was developed to ensure that boating adventures remain safe and worry-free.

Unmatched Lightning Protection

The CMCE Lightning Suppressor is not just a lightning protection system; it is a revolutionary advancement in maritime safety. Unlike traditional lightning protection systems that merely aim to manage the aftermath of a strike, the CMCE takes a proactive approach by eliminating lightning formation altogether. By creating a lightning-free protective shield around the boat, effectively prevents lightning from striking from striking, ensuring utmost safety for both vessels and occupants.

Seamless Integration with Modern Communication Systems

Maintaining reliable communication at sea is vital. One of the standout features of the CMCE Lightning Suppressor is its non-interference with telecommunication systems. Many traditional lightning protection systems can cause disruptions or interference with electronic and communication devices, which can be problematic for modern mariners who rely heavily on these systems for navigation, communication, and safety. The CMCE is meticulously designed to function without affecting the performance of onboard telecommunication systems, ensuring that you stay connected and informed.

Confidence on the Water

Sailing should be an enjoyable and relaxing experience, free from the constant worry of potential hazards. With the CMCE Lightning Suppressor, you can navigate the waters with confidence, knowing that you are protected by the most effective lighting protection system on the market. This peace of mind allows you to focus on what truly matters – enjoying your time on the water and creating unforgettable memories.

Protection for Boats of All Sizes

The CMCE offers three distinct Lightning Suppressor models to ensure comprehensive protection regardless of the vessel size:

CMCE-Gold: Designed for smaller boats, the CMCE-Gold model protects a 20,000-square-foot radius (82 feet). Perfect for small boats, catamarans, and yachts, ensuring they remain lightning-free.
CMCE-Platinum: For medium-sized vessels, the CMCE-Platinum model offers a 100,000-square-foot radius of protection. This model is ideal for medium-size yachts, catamarans, and fishing or expedition boats, providing extensive coverage and security.
CMCE-Diamond: The CMCE-Diamond model caters to the largest vessels, protecting up to 500,000 square feet. This model is suited for superyachts and large commercial and military ships, ensuring extensive maritime operations remain safe from lightning.

Lightning-Free Living: The Invisible Shield Protecting Olympus Harbour Island

By Rachel Rowland • May 23, 2025

Luxury Living, Elevated Olympus Property is a nationally recognized leader in luxury multifamily living, known for managing and developing high-end residential communities across the United States. With a strong emphasis on lifestyle, comfort, and long-term value, Olympus Property has built a reputation for excellence in both service and innovation. One of its standout communities, Olympus Harbour Island , is a prime example of upscale urban living. Located on Tampa’s exclusive Harbour Island, this waterfront property offers resort-style amenities, panoramic city views, and proximity to downtown attractions, all while maintaining an air of refined tranquility. Olympus Harbour Island’s Vulnerability to Strikes The premium location that makes Olympus Harbour Island so desirable also places it at a heightened risk for lightning strikes. Tampa, Florida, is widely regarded as the “Lightning Capital of North America,” experiencing some of the highest lightning strike densities in the country. With Harbour Island’s exposure to open water and its array of tall, modern structures, the community faced real vulnerability to lightning-related damage. These risks included power surges, potential fire hazards, structural damage, and service disruptions—each of which could compromise resident safety, operational integrity, and the luxury living experience Olympus strives to uphold. Game-Changing Protection: CMCE Lightning Suppression To address these concerns, Olympus Property installed the advanced CMCE Lightning Suppressors at Olympus Harbour Island . Specifically, the property is now protected with a CMCE-120 and a CMCE-55 , covering 600,000 square feet total. Unlike traditional lightning rods that attempt to redirect a strike to the ground, the CMCE is engineered to prevent lightning formation altogether. It works by balancing the electrical field and deionizing the surrounding atmosphere, effectively eliminating the conditions necessary for lightning to form. In doing so, the CMCE creates an invisible shield—like a protective dome—over the covered area, ensuring that lightning simply cannot develop or strike within its coverage area. Prevention Over Reaction: The Benefits of CMCE This proactive and preventative approach aligns with Olympus Property’s dedication to forward-thinking solutions and resident safety. By installing the CMCE-120 and CMCE-55 Lightning Suppressors , Olympus Harbour Island has eliminated its exposure to lightning threats, ensuring uninterrupted comfort for residents and safeguarding the property’s critical infrastructure.
